Aruba 555 Access Point
Installation Guide
The Aruba 555 Access Point (AP-555) is a higher-performance, multi-radio wireless device that can be deployed
in either controller-based (ArubaOS) or controllerless (InstantOS) network environments. This access point
delivers high-performance concurrent 2.4 GHz 802.11ax Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6) functionality with 4x4 MIMO radio and 5
GHz 802.11ax Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6) functionality with 8x8 MIMO radio, while also supporting legacy 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
wireless services.
Wired Ethernet ports located on the back of this access point are used to connect the device to the wired
networking infrastructure (wired speeds up to 5 Gbps are supported by both ports) and to provide POE power
(802.3at class 4 or 802.3bt class 5) to the device. In addition to both Wi-Fi radios, this AP also incorporates a
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee radio, supporting a variety of use-cases and services, such as locationing
and IoT.
